How to undo OS software update from 10.8.3 back to 10.8.2?

Hi there,
I just updated my OS to 10.8.3. I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2012)
I originally wanted to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp.
In the recent 10.8.3 update, there is an update for Boot Camp (Boot Camp 5)
However, after I updated the OS update, I found out that Boot Camp 5 only supports 64-bit Windows 7. I have the 32-bit version.
So now I'm stuck.
Can someone please help me and tell me how to undo the software update?
Thank you,

There is no way to downgrade unless you have a backup of your old 10.8.2 system. If you do, you can restore to that state.
You may want to look here for other options:

I don't really know anything about Boot Camp, so I can't comment on the solution there.

How do undo the software update?

I updated my phone a week or so ago using the "check for new software" feature and ever since my phone has been sucking power and keeps dropping the data connection. Since it worked like a charm before I would like to just undo this update. Is there an easy method to accomplish this?

There is a new software update that was just released to resolve some of these issues you encountered. The new software will be pushed out over the next week. You can search for it the same way you did the last, but it may not be available until pushed to your phone. Click here for more information about that update.
Is this an update to the update that came out at 8pm last Thursday?????
no budone, i don't believe so. they only officially announced that it was now being pushed, yesterday (i believe). they posted the pdf on friday, and we all know people were receiving it friday....but i don't think they announced anything until yesterday. there's no way they fixed and pushed a new update in a matter of days....lol.

Point a client to get software updates from the local OS X Server

I have an OS X Server that's serving only clients as a File Share device that I would like to use for Software Updates. There are three Mac Clients and a bunch of iOS clients. How do I use Software updates from the Server? I read the instructions on configuration but have the following questions:
Where do I find the correct port and catalog file name?
The instruction specify a port of 8088 and a catalog of 'index.sucatalog" in the example. Is this always the case?
I can write to the .plist specified but cannot read from it (get an error). I can see that the file has been written and the data is correct. What's wrong?

Apple's Software Update Server only provides updates for Apple Mac software. It does not provide updates for Mac Applications via the AppStore nor does it provide any updates for iOS devices.
Apple's Caching Server works differently. When a Mac or iOS device on your network requests an update from either the Mac AppStore or the iOS AppStore this will then be 'cached' on the server so that next time a device requests the same update it is available locally.
The URL for a local Software Update Server would be of the form
http://server.domain.com:8088/index.sucatalog
This would be written on a client Mac as follows
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL http://server.domain.com:8088/index.sucatalog
It would be read on a client Mac as follows
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
Note: Older versions of OS X had a version of the defaults command which did not like you including the file extension of the plist file so in the past the following would fail.
defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist CatalogURL

That indicates something went wrong. Make sure no anti-virus software or firewalls are running on your system. Make sure iTunes is up to date. Then, follow the directions here to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it:

You can't.

ITunes. After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean? Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

iTunes. After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean? Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

How to Manually Perform software Updates and tips for making Macbook better

Hi. So recently my internet was really slow. I figured the problem out and now is working well. Although the youtube site does not allow me to view entire videos.
Well...i was told that since my macbook is turned off at night, it cant perform software updates between 3am-6am...so how can i do these manually? or how can i change the update time to sometime in the evening?
I heard these software updates are suppose to make the macbook run and perform better. what other things can i do to accomplish that?
(Laymans terms, im new to the mac world)

Select Software Update from the Apple menu. Or download the standalone updaters from Apple's download site - http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/. Or simply set the Check for Updates option in Software Update to whatever frequency you prefer. SU will notify you when updates are available.

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

Apple has plenty of servers for handling the downloading of software updates. There is no optimum time since the updates are available worldwide. Anytime is a good time.

I suggest you go ask RedHat your question.
It is their product, not Oracle's product.
Go get your answer directly from the company that created that OS distro.
